Louisiana Amendment One (2007)
From Ballotpedia
Louisiana Amendment One was on the October 20, 2007 statewide ballot in Louisiana as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment to the Louisiana Constitution.
The purpose of the amendment was to constitutionally safeguard existing and future statutory supplemental pay levels for full-time local law enforcement officers and firefighters.
Election results
Amendment One passed with 59 percent voting for the measure and 41 percent voting against it.[1]
Taxpayer's perspective
Constitutional Amendment 1 would wall off state salary supplements for law enforcement officers and firefighters from any future reductions, effectively limiting budget policy options and making tax increases for other programs likelier.
